 (Pronounced COO-ME-HE-MO)

And Im LOVING it!!!! 

It is Truly Sensational!!!! The More I read And see What can be made!!! Its Just Mind Blowing!!! My only downside is That I have to guess at sizes of Kumihimo Stash!! But I did say IM LEARNING ha ha ... And The New STASH takes so long to come as I DONT have a Bottomless BANK ACCOUNT!!! I just wish I could Find a local supplier..... 
Let Me See If I can Paste A Borrowed Image From Marisol Suarez To Kinda give you an idea of What its likeThisis Just A Basic 8 thread Cord.. But You can do more and much more complex!! Ive Been Threading Single Seed Beads onto Cords.. And Weaving them too!! The Results is ASTOUNDING!!!! I so wish I could Share you a photo!!!
